Why not, there's a sucker born every day.
It is alway smart to lock in rates when you can so you have more than one month's program to choose from. But they don't know lease rates until they're released. So I wouldn't put much stock into a salesman trying to drum up sales... |

Not sure about you but since my purchase was a build/order, the dealer is going to give me the better of the two rates: 1. Rate at time of order or 2. Rate at time of delivery. I have it in writing.
However, this mine is a a financing scenario. |

Sucks because I really can't take advantage of this. I want a ED for July 15, so no matter what I do, I will lose something or the other. I'm thinking the $1000 cash incentive will go away, but to compensate for that, the residuals might be a bit off-set. Just my own opinion btw...

I can't. I already had a trip planned to London & EU to go watch the Ashes. This seemed to be a nice way to get the BMW. I just can't move it ahead since before I planned the BMW purchase, I already had my tickets etc. booked. Well it's ok. I guess I'll have to see what I lose when it's April 2nd...

Jon's warning mostly applies to folks looking at 2013 F30 and F10 models. Not really applicable on 2014 models.

Sucks that the East Coast can only lock in for 60 days but the West Coast can lock in for 90. I would have happily finalized my deal this month and signed the lease papers by end of June for a July 15th delivery date... Unfortunately looks like I'm going to lose out on the lease deal and most likely the lease cash. I just hope that the Loyalty is still there + if I'm going the AH3 route, the EcoCredit is still available. That still wouldn't be too bad. Unless of course the residuals are changed a bit too...

Well, I emailed the Sales Manager - he said he will check what he can do. If nothing is worked out, I guess I'll have to wait till the numbers get better (probably end of year). Which means, no ED this year. I'm not going to get into something that will not make financial sense. They say Patience is Virtue! Who knows. By the looks of it, seems lik:
a) I'm not gonna have a chance to get the MY14 for a July 15th ED. b) EVEN if the MY14 was somehow available, the lease / incentives will be non-existent. c) Its looking more & more like I will not be able to do this ED on July 15th, unless I'm willing to lose the incentives AND the residual decay which will likely result in a higher monthly... |

I agree I only order the cars when they make financial sense, which is when the numbers/incentives are strong. When they suck, they suck, and you have to accept it. Take the X1 for example, its what a few thousand less than a 3er (MSRP), yet to lease one is more expensive because the numbers suck and no incentive. I have mine on order currently in production, hopefully by May when I take delivery the numbers will be even stronger then March and get me an even better deal |

my dad once told me, buying something at a premium when youre rich is cheaper than buying something at a discount when you're poor.

I ordered my car 2/28 to lock in Feb rates. Told i could take deal at time of deliver if better.
Knew Feb rates. Checked in March - rates were the same. Checked in April - had not read this thread - rates were the same. Car came in - signed deal 5/3. Residual increased, not decreased. As thus, rates went down, not up. No idea what this thread was about - unless the OP was talking about the destination charges increasing from $895 to $925 on cars ordered now - but an end of the world warning for a $30 one time price increase, while residuals and monthly payments went down, seems extreme. |
